A set you can't buy in a nice cutlery store? Does that mean you've used all of the blades found in nice cutlery stores? Or do you immediately discredit them because they use normal selling methods instead of taking advantage of dumb teenagers? I my Henckels Twins.

I just bought a henckel pro series (I think it was that series) after trying out all the various top tier store bought knives at a cutlery store and I used my parents cutco knife last night and i'm tempted to return the henckel (a lot) and get a cutco blade instead.

of course you don't need 3k of knives on your counter in a sexy block (so sexy ) give me 6-7 knives and i'd be happy (+ steak knives obviously) just so happens that my preference falls with a few cutco knives over the other store-bought brands

If you're buying them for yourself, seriously, ebay. I picked up a 11" cutco chefs knife for 37 bucks on ebay. I picked up a 7" ceramic chefs knife on ebay for 25 bucks, I have a henckels paring knife and a chefs knife that cost me like 25/90 respectively. A cheap ass stamped steel bread knife that cuts great, and a set of boston cutlery steak knives that were cheap and get the job done.

I have a 3-piece set of Henckel's Pro-S. I got them for Christmas almost two years ago. I use the steel religiously and have not had to get them sharpened yet. I can still slice cleanly through a tomato or anything else. I believe the set with steel was ~$130 on ebay, all brand new in packaging (8" chef, 6" utility knife, and 4" paring).

eh, cutco straight edge knives are likewise as amazing sharpened professionally (growing up on a street with a pro sharpener FTW)

got this message on myspace from some attractive girl (WTF, there aren't any attractive girls on genmay.... [well, okay, she couldn't figure out how to post so it basically stands true...{if I were a nice guy I would assist her but that takes work (thats right, I just used 4 sets of parens, what now?)}])

hi there,
i saw your post on the general mayhem sight about cutco. i am a sales rep for cutco and i registered with the mayhem but it wouldn't let me post a reply. if you are interested in getting any more cutco and you can't still get the discount i could at least do a special if you go through me. also, i know its a lot to ask, but would you be able to talk to the person that originally made the post? i think his user name is radar5. if you can talk to him could you please tell him my email is xxxxxx@yahoo.com?
thanks so much!

if you want her email PM me

i am the "some attractive girl"...so now i guess there is one on genmay lol. the account finally started working, thanks tongboy for posting the message for me in the mean time .
as far as working for cutco goes, there are some really good people and some manipulative people. it can be a really good job, but its not for everyone. i had to learn to stand up to my managers if they were being manipulative. the reason i am with the company is because i genuinely believe our product is unbeatable in quality and performance, and no other cutlery company stands behind their products the way cutco does with its forever guarantee. i have been thoroughly spoiled by cutco and i could never buy another brand of knife (and luckily, since i own a full set, i won't ever have to. )

thanks for the additional input everyone, i think i am goign to go with the handful of cutco knives, not the 3k set. downstageleft06, i'm going away for the weekend, i'll pm/emailyou sunday or monday to discuss.
